I was late for Japanese class, but as soon as I walked in I became aware that sensei was giving out cash prizes for speeches. Immediately I was chosen to do mine. I was kinda just goofing around with it, and I could have done better. Sensei came up to me and pressed a bill to my cheek, almost covering my right eye. I caught a glimpse of a one on the bill, so I thought it was $1. I was kinda disappointed, but when I returned to my desk, I saw that the number 10 was printed on it. Upon a more careful examination, I saw that on every corner of the bill there was printed a different number, and the picture on it wasn't a president or anyone important; it was just a random person. The bill could not be spent.

Some militant group, possibly the Liberals, took captive a large group of us, including Jennifer and I. It was very subtle; I wasn't even aware at first that I was a prisoner. But it soon became apparent that we were not allowed to leave. I thought to myself, "I've got too much to do during the week! I can't stay here every day!" So I asked the guard, with whom I'd established a relationship, if I could go home for just a couple hours. He let me, and sure enough, I returned. Once I saw how easy it was, and I'd shown that I could be trusted, I made plans to do it again, only this time I would bring Jennifer, and I had no intention of going back. However, Jennifer was bound to something like a fence by means of shackles on her wrists, with thick wires coming off of them. For this reason I had brought wire cutters from my trip home. I was about to walk out of prison camp to freedom, with the full consent of the guards.

I drove to Pike's Peak. I was supposed to meet Billy Hyatt there, but he hadn't given me the directions, and I was tired of waiting. So I just followed the signs on the interstate, and it wasn't that difficult. However, though I found the city of Pike's Peak, I didn't know where Billy's house was.

I had parked my car at UNO near the fence at Privateer Place, along the sidewalk. On my way back from class, I passed a black girl who was standing outside her car, upset because she'd gotten a parking ticket. I started talking to her about how much I hated parking tickets. I introduced myself. I don't remember if we exchanged phone numbers. Then I walked to my car and found two tickets waiting for me.

A black woman came up to me on the street and asked for my opinion on black films this year. I said to her that I hadn't really watched any of the Friday movies, and I didn't know of any others. She told me that the other three were satires of Spider-Man.

I drove into the warehouse breezeway of Pelican Publishing. As I was opening my door, before I could get out of my car, Carol Zimmerman came up to me and asked me to make her some spicy coffee, which was coffee with a lot of cinnamon in it. Though I knew deep inside that I should have said no, I reluctantly said I would. However, to get to the place where the coffee was, I had to go through the supermarket that was in the middle of the warehouse. When I got to the table where the coffee was, I tried to make it for her, but I just couldn't get it right. First I put too much milk in it, and the coffee was too cold, so I had to throw it away. But there was no more coffee made, so I had to try to make more, but in the process I spilled some on my pants. I was getting very frustrated. I looked at the time, and the lunch hour was almost over and I had to get back to selling ads, so I decided that Carol would do without her spicy coffee.

There was a visiting Japanese at the place where I guess I was living. He was probably Tsubasa, but he seemed much older. I just woke up one morning and he was sitting at the kitchen table eating a salad. I started talking to him and found out that he spoke a bit of English, but not very much.

My mom had had a little black baby, but she lost it in her house. After my mother was no longer living there, several other people and I were in the house salvaging what we could. When the baby would get hungry, it would start crying and we would find it. After I'd fed it, she would start giggling, but we'd soon lose her in the trash again. Eventually, she stopped giggling, and I was no longer allowed to feed her.

I walked into my bedroom and I thought I heard a bird, but I didn't see anything so I shrugged it off. Later on as I walked in again, I heard the sound again. This time, perched on the lip of my 10gal aquarium were two small cockatiel-sized birds. I couldn't tell what species they were. I tried to catch them, but one flew away, and the other one I was able to catch by the feet as it tried to escape. We began to wrestle violently around the house. Eventually our struggle took us into the kitchen, where a bed had replaced the microwave. We fell onto the bed, where I noticed that the little bird had a red breast. I figured it was a robin. But then it turned into Jennifer, who revealed to me all along that it had been her, dressed up as two small birds.

There were mechanical creatures in my house that were loosely based on the swarms from Michael Crichton's book Prey, but I don't think they were made from nanoparticles. They were like 3ft. tall cylinders balanced on one disklilke wheel, and they had a pair of sickle-shaped blades that they used to strike out and kill people. The creatures couldn't see you if you were moving or if there was a lot of movement in the room. For this reason we were afraid to go to sleep.
There were four or five people at my house, including one black guy I think I recognize from a cigarette ad. The machines were trying to kill us, but we weren't taking them seriously. We did decide that it would be safer if we all slept in the same room. We figured that if we just turn the ceiling fan on, its movement would keep us safe.

I was at my wedding reception which was being held in a gymnasium. I was sitting on the bleachers, and I looked at someone near me and I started singing "Unforgettable." Suddenly, I saw Tony Bennett sitting alone at the far end of the gym. He perked up when he heard me singing and he started singing the rest of the song. Then he got up on stage and started working the crowd. Pastor Mike and the other ministers who had done the wedding ceremony went up and told him he couldn't do that. Tony said to them, ''Don't worry, I won't be much longer." But the minister said, "No, don't say another word," and they hauled him offstage.

My grandmother was driving me home from, I believe, church. It was towards the last stages of her life - she was able to function fairly well physically, but her mental capacity was almost nonexistent. Because of this, she was driving very strangely. Once when she made a u-turn, she made it so wide that she rolled up onto the grass on the other side of the road, and she didn't seem to think it strange. For some reason, my right eyeball was out of my eye socket, dangling by a few strands. I believe the reason was that I was in the backseat but still needed to keep a close watch on Granny. Shortly before she got to my house, she grabbed my eyeball and said, "I think I need to cut your optic nerve." I yelled, "No! If you do that, I don't think I'll be able to see if you do that!"

I was working so late one night in the office that instead of going home, I just put a sleeping bag on the floor and slept in the office.

1. President George W. Bush was scheduled to be speaking at a gymnasium, and I was going to see him. The place was packed but somehow I got a front row seat. When he first walked in there was a big spectacle made for him. He started by saying that since it was the only thing he had to wear, he was going to put on a Spider-man costume. So he started talking and walking around with his headset microphone and his Spider-man costume. For some reason I was completely in awe of everything he did. When he walked close to me, he saw how I was staring at him and came over to shake my hand. By the end of his speech he was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans.
2. Richard and Donald and I were standing by the refrigerator in my mom's kitchen. My cat, Nika, was chasing a mouse, and we were watching in amusement as he caught and ate the mouse. Then Richard said, "Hey, I could sell that mouse for $5!" So he casually took a knife and cut open my cat's stomach and pulled out the mouse. But Richard saw that the mouse had a sore on its right hind leg, so he couldn't sell it. I said, "Richard, you killed my cat for $5 that you can't even get?!" Donald laughed and said, "Charles was going to crush him for ¢50."

Jennifer & I were on a 747. I was trying to show something to the pilot but he dismissed me because I was distracting him. When I looked out the cockpit window, I realized that we were about to land, and my distraction had happened at a very crucial moment. The plane first angled downward too steeply, and as the pilot tried to level out, he overcompensated so that the tail was too close to the ground. Now the plane was beginning to spin out of control, and before long collided with the runway and disintegrated. Somehow I walked away from the disaster, but soon realized that Jennifer was missing. Rescue workers began searching through the smoldering debris while I could do nothing more than sit at home and watch the coverage on TV, wondering if I would ever again see the single most important thing in my life. There were moments that I started to feel normal, but then I would remember that I may have lost her, and despair would overtake me. Eventually, it turned into Lauren Taylor that was missing. Whenever I would think about Lauren, I would nonchalantly say to myself, "Well, at least Jennifer is fine."

I was Spider-Man and I was fighting the Rhino. For some reason I was afraid of him and I was running away. I ran through a cave, leaving massive barriers of webbing behind me to slow Rhino down. Then the cave opened up into an open space. I blocked the exit with huge boulders of webbing. However, Rhino had a powerful ray that he blasted through the cave to weaken the webbing. Then he came charging through, easily busting through my barriers.

I was using a hospital elevator, going from the top floor to the bottom floor. When the elevator reached the bottom, however, instead of stopping at one it kept going down. Eventually after a few tense moments, the elevator car stopped going down but seemed to have landed at a precarious angle, and the lights had gone out. I was quite nervous, but fortunately I had my cell phone with me. I pressed "2" to speed-dial Jennifer, but I had apparently been picked up by the hospital's wireless network, and the switchboard intercepted my call. A recorded voice with a menu answered, but I just kept pressing "0" until a person answered. I began to tell her of my predicament, but she abruptly said, "Hang on, let me transfer you to Clay Nepvieux." While I was on hold for Clay, I started hearing train sounds around me. I noticed a large gash in the side of the elevator that I thought I could force my way out of. Once I had gotten partially through the opening, I could look around and see that the elevator had landed right on some train tracks under the hospital, right on the river. I could see a train up-river that looked like it was heading straight towards me, but it soon became clear that it was merely on an adjacent track. Meanwhile, as I was crawling out of the elevator car, Clay Nepvieux picked up the phone and I told him my situation and how I was slightly angry about it. Clay replied, "Damn! I told maintenance to fix that!" Then I, along with Jennifer and her father, stormed into Clay's office and got in his face, about to yell at him.

I was laying on the front sofa at my sister's house when Jennifer's Aunt Gwen came to see my sister. Susan didn't like Gwen but put up with her when she had to. Gwen waited just outside the door while Susan went to her bedroom to get something. Gwen started to take a couple of steps into the house, and I started yelling at her at the top of my lungs, "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!!! GET OUT!!!" But she just looked at me. I could hear Susan laughing from the back of the house. I got up to physically remove Gwen from the doorway. I pushed her, but she didn't budge. She pressed one finger against my throat. I kept pushing and finally got her out the door and slammed it in her face.
07-07-03
I was going up in an elevator. As the doors were about to close, my cat, Nika, tried to sneak in but didn't make it. The doors shut on him, but his mass wasn't big enough to make them reopen and the elevator started going up with the cat caught in the door. The other people in the elevator tried to hurriedly dislodge Nika but were unable. As the elevator rose, the cat's body hit the ceiling of the outside hall and was torn in half.
07/16/03
I was walking to the house of an aunt who lived by the beach, but before I got there, a tall skinny black guy that reminded me of Cory who's marrying Nicole / Laura came up to me, carrying a gun, and asked me where I thought I was going. I told him that I was on my way to an aunt's house. "Not anymore," he replied jerkishly. So he started leading me away, and we walked through Trianon Square. When he got to the corner of the street that takes you out of the neighborhood, we came upon a party in one of the 4-plexes. The black guy told me that I could stay at the party, but everywhere else was off limits. So some people from that party and I were sitting at some tables in a supermarket, wondering what we should do. One guy said, "hey, does anyone wanna go and get some lunch? I'm driving." So we all piled into the back of his pickup truck that was as long as a limo, and was parked in a gravel parking lot near some woods. By this time, it was a bit past midnight. Someone said, "I wonder when the hot air balloons are getting back." I looked up and saw the top of a balloon through the trees, and I said, "they're already back." So we started talking to the people operating the hot air balloons, and we found out that at 3 a.m. that morning they would have to fly the balloons to China. All I could think about was how sleepy they were going to be.

For some reason, Greg Mariano decided that the worship team would play the six o'clock service in the nude since, as Greg explained to us, playing with no clothes on would ensure that there was so showmanship, that it was all just pure worship. So we complied with that. It was a little wierd though, but I didn't feel all that uncomfortable. That is, however, until after worship when I began to doubt whether Greg had really told us to show up nude, or if I had simply imagined it. It occurred to me that I was seeminly the only nude person in the church and I suddenly felt very, well....naked. So I grabbed some clothes and hurried into the back multi-purpose room behind the stage, only to find that, of course, the entire choir was in there, and seemingly lots more people. It was so crowded that I had to squeeze past Denise, love interest of Nolan, to reach the bathroom. It was very uncomfortable.

1. I took some people, including Pastor Mike, to a store much like Target. I had walked in ahead of everyone else, and I looked back to see Pastor Mike entertaining the people at the jewelery counter / customer service desk. He was telling jokes and doing impressions. He put on a wig with extremely long black hair and was pretending to be a rastafarian. Quite convincingly, I might add. Then he switched the wig from his head to his chin and put on a strange cylindrical hat and pretended to be an old black man with a long beard. Again, quite convincingly. Then we all decided to go to a restaurant, and Pastor asked if he could come with us. At this point I think he was wearing a green shirt with white horizontal stripes. So we all went to this place that had a buffet with just about everything, literally, everything on it. Every kind of nationality you can imagine that would represented in restaurant form. So I fixed myself a plate of something mediocre and sat down across from Pastor, who was eating a very large plate of lasagna and some thing with tomato sauce that had some shrimp on top. I said to him, "Gee, if I hadn't known what nationality you were, I'd have figured out tonight." And he told me that real Italians wouldn't actually be eating this lasagna and that other thing he was eating, just Americanized Italians. And then everyone went home, and he thanked me for inviting him.
2. My family had convinced me to marry my mom instead of Jennifer, and my grandmother played a key role in that effort. They told me that it was quite a common thing, and Jennifer said we could always be friends. So I conceded. After a couple of days, though, I began to think that divorce was not such a bad thing after all. Then I woke up and looked over at Jennifer and was intoxicatingly relieved.

I was building a life-sized model of a pterodactyl for a school project. It was very detailed. I actually constructed a skeleton and fleshed it out. It ended up a neat shade of green. After it was constructed, the professor asked me to move its arms and stuff, but I wasn't sure it could do that because I thought it would be too stiff and I'd break it. But the prof assured me that I could do it. So I began manipulating its wings, and it started moving on its own. Then it was suddenly like a cartoonish winged beast, and it was talking to me. I was thinking that maybe someone was using it as a costume, but it insisted that it was real. Then it tried to kiss me, and it slobbered on me. When I went to wipe my mouth, it said, "oh, that's just my electricity." It had the voice of an old lady.
08-30-03In the school yard of John Ehret, Travis Berzas (see dream from 06-23-02) was going nuts on people. He was picking up his friends and my friends and throwing them forcefully toward the ground like they were weightless. I stood in shock for a couple of seconds, but when he picked up Mariruth and threw her down, I walked up to him, slapped him on the forehead and said, "Wake up! What's wrong with you?" Like a mindless hulk he tried to pick me up, but I somehow overpowered him and got him to the ground, which knocked me down also. As he tried to get up again, I began to kick him in the face. Every time he tried to get back up, I kicked his face. This went on until the police showed up, and his face was bloody. Later, at my apartment, Jennifer started to go outside one morning to put the trash out. When she went outside, I got a very uneasy feeling, like perhaps Travis was out there. I went to the door and called her to come back inside, but as I did so I felt a hand on my shoulder.
08-31-03Jennifer and I were invited guests to a banquet, where a VIP and guest speaker was Michael Jordan, the basketball player. At the start of the dinner, we all stood and some prayers were recited, but they were from a strange religion (possibly like the bad guys in the movie Help!). At first we were saying them along with everyone else, simply out of respect, but when I saw that Michael Jordan was not saying them, Jennifer and I both stopped. However, when Michael saw that we had stopped, he whispered something to a guy next to him, who then went into a back room and came back carrying something that I could see was a powerful automatic weapon, though he was trying to conceal it. I knew Michael Jordan was going to kill us all, so I grabbed Jennifer's hand and we sneaked out of the door of the banquet room, into an empty hallway. We left through the closest exit, which turned out to be an emergency exit that set off an alarm. We started running towards my car, and came up behind an armed guard. As the guard turned around, I punched his face and knocked him out and took his rifle. Then we ran to my car.
09-03-03A large group of my friends decided to have some kind of crazy car race derby on a circular stretch of elevated interstate. It was INCREDIBLY violent. Cars were crashing into each other, people were getting hurt. I didn't like the whole idea at all, and neither did Jennifer, so we tried to stay out of the way, off to the side, not moving. But our cars would still get hit as the other cars sped around the track. We even tried hanging on some ropes that were attatched to the outer rim of the track, but that wasn't very safe either. Eventually, someone died. This intensely angered Skot and Kamal Bou-michail (or however he spells it), who decided that the reason the guy died was Lebanese-hating beurocrats. So I went along with them, not knowing where they were going, until they entered someone's apartment and started assembling a bomb in the person's closet. Once I realized what they were doing, I panicked and tried to convince them that it was a ridiculous reaction, but they would hear none of it. I told them that they would be killing someone they didn't even know, and they said he deserved it. So I tried to remove any evidence that I had ever been there, and I left. The next day at high school, I was contemplating telling the police about the bomb, but was wrestling with the fact that I'd be turning in my friends. I was waiting for the bomb to go off inside one of the classrooms where they had planted it, and it finally did. I knew that since I was fifteen-year-old Peter Parker, I should go as Spider-Man to start rescuing people, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to do it.
09-04-03I was at the end of a movie, trying to put the cap back onto a pen. Someone, possibly a very serious Adam Sandler, tried to warn me in a meaningful way that I should be careful with that pen. But I was having trouble and tried to force the cap to fit, and it sprung back and went into my left eye, right into the inner corner. It didn't cut anything or put my eye out, it just kind of pushed itself all the way in. It wasn't bleeding, it just gave a slight headache and made me pretty dizzy. I called 911 and they took their sweet time getting there. I managed to pull the pen cap out of my eye, which did hurt, but I could still feel the effects. When the paramedics finally arrived, they stood around and talked for a long time before taking me to the hospital.
11-05-031. I was Ultimate Spider-Man. There was a guy that just moved into my neighborhood who really didn't like me because I was spying on him. So one day I was on the Brooklyn Bridge as Spider-Man, and the whole bridge was filled with people. They weren't in cars, they were just walking around. I was swinging around above them, trying to figure out what was going on. I landed in front of that guy that didn't like me. Aunt May, Mary Jane, and some other people I knew were standing around the guy. I shot a web from each hand to the ground at my feet, to secure my position, and I said to the guy, "Alright, I'm ready for you. You can't do anything to me, unless you plan on destroying this whole bridge." He smiled slyly at me, and the whole bridge disappeared. We were all falling. I shot webs to catch Aunt May, Mary Jane, and the other people I knew. We were somehow falling down next to a tall skyscraper. I shot a web up to the skyscraper to catch us, but I was already holding so many webs that were attatched to the other people, that I had to put this new web in my mouth because my hands were full.
2. Some woman was flying me around the country in a jumbo jet. There was a guy in the co-pilot's chair, but he never even spoke. She was flying like a nut. The plane was barely higher than the street lights at times. She said to me, "Let me show you how I find my way to New Orleans." She pointed out the cockpit window and said, "You see that Popeye's right there? Once I see that, I go up and go 1800 miles until I see a Popeye's with better prices, because outside of New Orleans, Popeye's is expensive."
11-06-03Mike Mille, the pastor of my church, decided that, because on one occasion his wife was talking too much, he would send her on a vacation to Italy by herself. At first she was a little upset about this, but when he explained his reason to her, she understood.
01-03-04Jon Foreman, lead singer of the San Francisco band Switchfoot, was holding up a diner on the campus of the college I may or may not have been attending. He had a gun, took hostages, and he was a total madman!! He had no real reason for holding up the diner, he was just angry, and felt like killing people. However, since I had already established with him that I was a big fan of his band, I felt a bit bold and began trying to calm him down. I never got him to give up and release the hostages, but he did agree to let me go.
05-31-04After my grandmother died, my mom died of sadness. But shortly after my mom died, my grandmother came back to life. At this time, I lived in a small one room trashy apartment with my wife. Our apartment was upstairs from a theatre. One night my wife decided to sleep over at her friend's house, and I didn't particularly want to be alone, so I asked my grandmother if she wanted to spend the night. She didn't want me to be alone, so she agreed to come over so she could keep me safe. Well, when we arrived at our building, there was a tribute to Spider-Man going on in honor of the opening of Spider-Man 2, and the whole street was filled with people, and the entrance to the building was blocked off. We had to stand around for a long time before we could finally get to the door. When we got inside, I was carrying my grandmother over my shoulder and a security guard told us that we couldn't be inside. But I explained to him that I lived upstairs, and that my grandmother was "seventy-something" years old and couldn't stand up much longer. So he let us go up.
07-24-04I was either Spider-Man, or some other superhero who had lost his own costume and was using Spider-Man's. But I'm pretty sure I was Spider-Man. Either way, I had breasts. I met up with my friend Batman who had lost all of his equipment save for one costume. We went into a house to put our costumes on under our clothes and prepare ourselves to go out in public. I put my Spider-Man costume on, and over that a pair of slacks and a white short-sleeve dress shirt and tie. Batman came over and put my mask on my head inside-out and said, "There, be Spider-Girl since you have breasts!" It kinda made me dizzy since the lenses were backwards, so I put it on the right way. Batman put his costume on under his street clothes (don't ask me how!) and we went on our way. My wife said to me that I kinda looked stupid wearing a shirt and tie with my mask on, so I took it off. I looked down at my shirt and noticed that it was fairly thin and see-through! I asked Batman and Jennifer if it was noticeable, and Jennifer said, "not really, and even if someone does see it, it'll just look like a bunch of fives."
08-09-041. I was living in a house that I'm not familar with in real life. There was a guy there who Jennifer seemed to really like. He wanted her to stand against a wall and put a small piece of wilted lettuce on top of her head so that he could shoot it off with an arrow. She happily agreed. I, however, did not like the idea because of the obvious and extreme danger. I told her she couldn't do it, but she insisted. After arguing back and forth for a while, I finally grabbed her by the shoulders and said VERY sternly, "You must accept my authority." So she said, "I'm telling my dad." "Fine with me," I said. So she walked down the hall to her dad's bedroom and came back a few minutes later saying, "He wants to know why you don't want me to do it."
2. I happened to talk to the pastor of my church for a few minutes and mentioned to him a verse in Revelations about how great Jesus was. The verse had really touched me and I just wanted to share it with him. Later on, during the pastor's sermon, I decided to go backstage, which was a large auditorium full of people. To get there you had to walk near the platform where the preaching was happening. As I did so, I heard the pastor telling the story of how I told him about the verse. He was very insulting to me because apparently he hates the Book of Revelation. He said, "Jason is an instigator," while looking right at me. I was deeply hurt, and went to sit down backstage. A few minutes later I was somehow holding a stick of dynamite or something that was about to explode. I couldn't let it explode backstage where it would hurt all those people, so I frantically scrambled for an exit. I ran out the door into an open courtyard and threw the dynamite. A few seconds after it left my hand, however, it exploded and threw me a few dozen feet into the air and onto the ground. When I woke up I found I had a few broken ribs and other broken bones. The associate pastor of the church leaned over me and said, "That's what you get."
08-12-04I was flying on a plane, and someone told me that three bullets would be fired on the plane at a certain time. I was supposed to stop the bullets. I had some kind of spider sense or something. I could picture the scenario in my head: the three bullets in slow motion, but not Matrix-slow motion, more like glacier speed. I could easily grab them and keep them from hurting any passengers or breaching the skin of the plane. So I was prepared for these bullets to be fired. However, there was a walking funeral for my grandmother on a street in this plane. My grandmother's body was wrapped in a white sheet. I watched the procession and started crying and forgot all about the bullets. It turns out, though, that the bullets lodged into some heavy wall inside the plane and didn't do serious damage to anything.
10-11-04I was Spider-Man and I was helping Captain America and some other hero fight this huge villain called Juggernaut. He wasn't the same Juggernaut that the X-Men fight, he was just a regular (bald) guy who got really big and strong and wore a clear plastic dome over his head. He was very powerful and couldn't be hurt very easily. So after we heroes got punched around a good bit, I came up with an idea: we needed to chain him up! So I said, "I saw some chains in someone's yard on my way here." I swung over there on my webs, followed shortly after by Captain America and the other guy. As we were gathering the chains, the owners of the house came home and entered the back yard. It was an old black couple. The man said, "What's going on.....Hey, Spider-Man!" He was very happy to see us. By this time, Juggernaut was gone, so I got out of costume and was walking down the street. I passed a guy I recognized as Juggernaut, but he was just regular man size. I decided to joke around with him and see if I could get any information out of him.
I said, "Hey, you're that Juggernaut guy!"
And he said, "Yeah, I was just fighting some superheroes."
"Oh really," I said. "Which ones?"
"Umm....Captain America..."
"That guy's an idiot! Was Spider-Man there?" I asked.
"Yeah, he was," said Juggernaut.
"I can't stand that guy! You know who I think he is? Bill Cosby. I think Spider-Man is Bill Cosby."
Juggernaut looked thoughtful for a moment and said, "Yeah, he does remind me of Bill Cosby."
10-12-04I went to work for a company in an office. When I got there we were all just playing video games. Some X-Men character was about to fall off of a building, and when he finally did, Spider-Man caught him at the last second. So I was controlling Spider-Man, but it was hard to do because the game didn't let you see where you were going. It showed Spider-Man's face, so you couldn't see where the next building was, and I'd often shoot a web and miss and fall. Then we put the video game up and went to lunch, except it was night. As we were crossing the street I saw some people dressed up as Spider-Man and other Marvel characters and I realized that it was the people who had played them in the video game. I was considering going up to the Spider-Man guy and saying, "Look, I'm a really big fan of Spider-Man, would you let me take a picture with you, and let me wear your mask?" But I didn't. I decided to get some lunch first.
11-04-04Robin, as in Batman and Robin, was Spider-Man's partner. Dr. Octopus was on the rampage, and Robin was the only one available to fight him. Robin also had mechanical octopus arms, though they were not as powerful as Doc Ock's, and I think Robin may have only had two. Robin was at Aunt May's house when Doc Ock came creeping around with the intention of murdering everyone inside. Robin came to the defense of the home. The fight was incredibly gruesome, though I can't remember many of the details. At one point, Doc Ock picked up Robin and threw him so far away that he landed in a desert. Doc Ock leaped after him, and soon they were falling into a hole in the desert ground. Robin was clawing at the edge of the hole in an attempt to keep from falling to his death, and somehow Doc Ock was hanging on to Robin from below, trying to pull him down. Something dramatic happened, and Robin was able to crawl out of the hole. His mechanical arms were mostly severed from his body, and they were hanging by bloody bits of flesh. Entangled in this mess was Doc Ock's severed head. Meanwhile, Doc Ock's arms themselves were so angry that their owner had been killed that they ran back to Aunt May's house in a fury, stormed into the house and started trashing the place. They picked up Aunt May and threw her down, possibly killing her. All the while, Spider-Man was sitting in the yard making flowers out of his webs, oblivious to the carnage. Something, though, made his spider sense go off. He almost ignored it, but decided he'd better check to see if something was wrong. He swung to the porch of the house, where he met the arms, which had somehow grown their own human head. The head was of a bearded, balding, middle aged man. It was yelling in unfettered rage at Spider-Man, and its voice sounded very computerized.
11/23/041. It was either the end of the world, or some major catastrophe, at least on a local level. Everyone was in survival mode. A few other men and I were searching through my mother's house for things that we could use to help us survive. Another guy and I found some PDA's that still had battery power, and live wireless internet connections! This was something I'd always wanted, so I was very happy. I could also see how it could come in handy in helping us stay alive. I tried to go to www.vagrantcafe.com, and before the page finished loading I went to www.homestarrunner.com, but before that page started loading I turned it off because I wanted to preserve the battery.
2. I was not Catholic, but I was in some sort of Catholic church. The pope was either visiting this church, or she lived there. Yes, the pope was a woman. I was sitting in the front row during the service, and when the pope came out she walked up to me and touched my face and blessed me. I felt elated! It was an incredible feeling, and later the pope and I became good friends.
01/22/05I was going to help my mom cut some grass. We were in the backyard of my grandmother's neighbor's house, and when the neighbor came outside my mom said to her, "This is my son. I can't wait until he gets off his ass and gets an apartment and goes to college." She said right in front of me. I didn't say anything, but I was incredibly offended because I already had a full time job, I supported a wife, I had an apartment, and I went to school. So I stopped helping her for the day. I went to my grandmother's house to ask if she'd help me help my mom the next day, but she coudln't because it was raining. Also, she said that cutting grass made her very confused anyway.
02/07/05I decided to break into someone's house. It was the house of someone who lived down the street from my mother. I don't know why I broke in, maybe some odd force was driving me. But all I stole was a pencil. Walking back home, a policeman thought I was acting too nervously so he pulled me over. He found out what I did, and I was sentenced to jail for a month. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to go to school, but I found out that I was basically able to go wherever I wanted, as long as I came back to the jail. Cinjun, the lead singer of Remy Zero, was at the jail. I couldn't tell if he was a prisoner or an employee. I found out that he was going to be on a TV show but changed his mind, so I asked him, "Was it too indie for you, or not indie enough?" He glared at me and walked off.
12/09/05On my way to work in the morning, I stopped at Tully's Coffee and ordered a "Titanic Mocha".
"That'll be $25," the girl said.
"$25!" I exclaimed angrily. "For one drink? I'm not paying $25 for one cup of coffee, I'm sorry!" Right as I said this, the girl making the drink started the espresso machine. So I knew I had made them waste a shot, but there was no way I was paying that much. So I walked out of Tully's and onto 1st Ave. I crossed the street to where there was a crowd of people waiting for the bus, which turned out to be a Subway train outfitted with tires.
03/30/06I had a pet bear, that for some reason Jennifer took with her to New Orleans while I stayed in Seattle. And she and the bear lived in a house on the street upon which I grew up. The bear was starting to get sick. And by sick I mean that he kept getting donut frosting in his fur. He really like donuts! Jennifer decided she needed to take him to the vet, but when she tried to take him with her he growled at her. I asked her over the phone, "Have you been playing with him enough?" "I haven't had the time!" She said. So I flew down to New Orleans to see my bear. I arrived at night, walked up to the fence of the house, and called the bear. He came up to me and was so happy to see me! I pet his muzzle, and he was happy.

There was some kind of cyborg creature who was fighting for his life. This cyborg creature was not cool or tough looking or scary....the best way I can describe him is....unassuming. He was apparently dying. He had already found and destroyed two thingies (no clue what they were) when the dream picked up. He was talking to his creator:
"I don't think destroying them made time slow down enough to keep me alive. I don't think I'll make it."
His creator responded: "There's still one more thing you have to do. Go to the cemetery in New Orleans where your were fed the blood of the damned."
Some things were never explained in the dream, I just knew them. For instance, while the cyborg creature was being assembled, eating the blood of the damned was a crucial step in his completion. He was conscious during this time, but he has no memory of it.
The dream moves to the cyborg creature creeping around in a dark cemetery at night. There are creepy noises everywhere. He knows that if he makes any sound, demon things will be on him instantly. He tries to throw a piece of bone several yards away so he can ambush some demon things. As the bone leaves his hand, he senses a demon thing behind him...it was like Spider-sense. It was amazing. They fought. The demon thing was more like a robot. Its structure was very blocky. Soon more demon robots came out, and it was an intense battle.
And that's where the dream ended. I did not do it justice.
